Hey team, as you know the roar is fast approaching and I bet you all can’t wait to get into it. I’ve drawn a ballot for the Molesworth and just recieved the dreaded email today that the road is going to remain closed during the roar period so no vehicles are allowed access. Has this stuffed anyone else’s trip up or is it just me? Haha
Happy Hunting
Stuffed up my work colleague he biked in last weekend. I live next to Molesworth so of course its a pain in the proverbial.
The Edwards track is also still closed due to the fire risk
Had a block for first period, pulling the pin unfortunately.
What block did you have?
This happened last year but some rain turned up just in time
Wouldn't give up all hope just yet
I see rainbow road is the same
I’m 3rd period so hopefully it starts raining soon
Tonight supposedly
It started raining in Hanmer at 7.30pm tonight and is meant to carry on tomorrow.
Thanks for the update man!��
I’ve got the five mile block. It’s my first time in the molesworth so keen to hear if anyone has hunted the block before and had any success. Also if there is a camp spot out near the road? Cheers
Rained all day as well today
Hope the road opens before SI Big Bore, was hoping to come home that way...
Only been in Five Mile/Yarra area goose shooting but there were deer sighted most days (separate trips).There's reasonable camping-sites near the road up the 5 mile stream track and also, possibly better, up the track which goes up/over to the Yarra hut. Used to be a few animals moving between 5 Mile /Leader Dale over the saddle and saw animals from Yarra saddle to hut and going up to Alma saddle. A few years ago but probably still the same.Quote:

Doc Molesworth Recreation Reserve page was updated yesterday and still states road closed until further notice. Damn.
